• Reference alignment files (BAM) and gene count files of 10 tumor samples from nanopore sequencing

  Reads were aligned to 1000 Genomes assembly reference (hs37d5) using minimap2 2.22. SAM-to-BAM conversion, BAM sorting and indexing were performed with SAMtools 1.13. Read summarization was performed with featureCounts (from Subread 2.0.3) over exon features based on GENCODE Version 19 gene models. Strand specific counting was used.

  RNA-sequencing data: 5 normal thyroid tissues, 14 papillary thyroid carcinomas, 2 lymph node metastases, 19 poorly differentiated thyroid carcinomas and 17 anaplastic thyroid carcinomas; Targeted DNA-sequencing of the 165 genes included in the “Solid and Haematological tumors” panel (BRIGHTCore, Brussels, Belgium): 2 normal thyroid tissues, 2 poorly differentiated thyroid carcinomas and 7 anaplastic thyroid carcinomas; 2 FASTQ files for each sample (paired).

• Keratinocyte CRISPR screens (2019-08-14)

  Immortalised HaCaT keratinocytes were transduced with Cas9 and the CRISPR-KO v1.1 genome-wide gRNA library. The gRNA library was prepared from genomic DNA isolated 14 days post library transduction. gRNA representation will be compared to the original CRISPR-KO v1.1 library to reveal genes essential for HaCaT survival and growth. . This dataset contains all the data available for this study on 2019-08-14.

• Pediatric Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Whole Exome Sequencing

  BACKGROUND: Pediatric papillary thyroid carcinoma (PPTC) is distinct from adult-onset disease. Despite higher rates of regional and distal metastases and more frequent recurrence, there is, paradoxically, a highly favourable prognosis. Historically, only 40-50% of childhood PTC are driven by genomic variants common to adult PTC, while the oncogenic drivers in the remainder are unknown. METHODS: Fifty-two PPTCs were genotyped by candidate gene testing, followed, in a subset (n=32), by whole exome (WES) and transcriptome sequencing (RNASeq) to identify oncogenic variants in driver-unknown tumors and to explore gene expression patterns. FINDINGS: Thirty-one tumors (60%) carried variants identified by candidate gene testing, specifically: BRAFV600E(22%), NRASQ61R(2%), RET-CCDC6(19%), RET-NCOA4(15%) and PAX8-PPARG. Among the 21 remaining tumors with negative first-line genotyping, oncogenic variants were identified in 19 (90%). These were enriched with oncogenic fusions, with 11 non-recurrent fusion transcripts identified, including two that had not been previously described: STRN-RET and TG-PBF. Most fusions were associated with 3’ receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) moieties: RET, MET, ALK and NTRK3. Gene expression analysis defined three distinct clusters, which demonstrated differing expression of genes involved in thyroid differentiation and MAPK signaling. INTERPRETATION: Exome and transcriptome-wide sequencing identify genomic drivers of PPTC in 98% of tumors, whereas conventional genotyping leaves many tumors genetically unexplained. PPTC is driven, in the majority of cases, by oncogenic fusion transcripts involving one of a limited number of RTKs. These observations have broad implications for diagnostic testing and for therapeutic options in children with advanced disease.

• Splicing signature analysis of RNU2-2 samples

  Dominant pathogenic variants in the snRNA RNU2-2 were recently reported as a cause of neurodevelopmental disorders. In our study we identified additional individuals with dominant variants (n.4G>A and n.35A>G) and we also identified biallelic variants as a novel frequent cause of neurodevelopmental disorder. We obtained blood samples and performed short-term lymhocytes cultures for 19 cases (5 n.4; 5 n.35; 9 biallelic). We generated exome-capture RNA-Seq for these cases that we compared to 49 controls (probands affected from a neurodevelopmental disorder but without RNU2-2 variants). We observed that RNU2-2 variants mainly disturb alternative exon skipping, although affecting different exons.

• Whole genome sequencing and mutation rate analysis of Vietnamese trios with paternal dioxin exposure

  2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) or dioxin, is commonly considered the most toxic man-made substance, and from 1962 to 1971, more than 19 million gallons of Agent Orange (AO) and other toxic chemicals contaminated with dioxin were sprayed in South of Vietnam. Dioxin exposure impacts human health and diseases, and birth defects and teratogenesis were frequently observed in children of persons who have been exposed to dioxin in Vietnam. However, the impact of dioxin on human mutation rate has not yet been analyzed. To identify and characterize the genetic alterations in the individuals exposed to dioxin, we perfomed whole genome sequencing of nine Vietnamese trios whose fathers were exposed to dioxin.

• Macrophage response in preterm infants compared to term infants

  Preterm infants are highly susceptible to sustained lung inflammation, which may be triggered by exposure to multiple environmental cues such as supplemental oxygen (O2) and infections. The underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. The hypothesis of this study is that dysregulated macrophage activation is a key feature leading to inflammation-mediated development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants. Cord blood samples of preterm infants (n=14) and term infants (n=19) as well as peripheral blood from healthy adults (n=17) were collected. Age-dependent differences in immune responses of monocyte-derived MФ from preterm infants were characterized and compared to term infants and adults after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure.

• Genomic profiling of IBC

  We collected matched pretreatment blood and tumor samples from 19 patients with primary TN-IBC enrolled in a phase II clinical trial (NCT02876107). Patients were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) or the anti-EGFR antibody panitumumab (PmAb) plus NAC (PmAb/NAC). We conducted whole-exome sequencing, RNA sequencing, and CIBERSORT analyses for these TN-IBC samples and compare the genetic and molecular profiles with similarly analyzed stage III TN-non-IBC patient samples. We also compared the genetic and molecular characteristics of TN-IBC in patients who had a pathologic complete response (pCR) to NAC or PmAb/NAC treatment, a suitable surrogate endpoint for IBC, with those who did not have pCR (non-pCR).
